Good morning, Rallypoint, and welcome to the February 8th Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD): "Aurora and Light Pillars over Norway." Particles expelled by the Sun interact with oxygen in the upper atmosphere, and suspended ice crystals reflect light back towards its source...all in one exposure. Talk about being in the right place (Kautokeino, Norway) at the right time...

I saw it Minnesota when I was 7. It was supernatural to me.

Totally beautiful, the whole exposure. I have a personal preference for the pillars on the right... must be the "urbanite" in me.
